ACT Biotech is also eligible to receive clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments. The total consideration, including the upfront payment, may reach up to U.S. $95 million.
The lead asset,Telatinib, is a VEGFR inhibitor ready for Phase III development for gastric cancer.

Eddingpharm plans to initiate trials for Telatinib in China and continue the development that ACT Biotech started in the U.S. Eddingpharm also intends to take the other two assets into clinical development in either the U.S. or China.
Eddingpharm founder and CEO Xin Ni commented, "Eddingpharm is pleased to expand its oncology portfolio by acquiring global rights to these three promising compounds. We look forward to resuming ACT Biotech's work by advancing these important drugs to the next phase of trials in the U.S., China, and beyond."
This transaction represents the next step in Eddingpharm's growth strategy and commitment to oncology. Owning the global rights to these innovative products will allow Eddingpharm to optimize its development strategies for China and the rest of the world.
Bernard Peperstraete, MD, Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of ACT Biotech commented, "We believe that this transaction represents an attractive opportunity for ACT Biotech, its stockholders and for cancer patients, and we are delighted that ACT's promising oncology portfolio will be further developed by such a strong and internationally well-positioned partner."

Chucks hope to honor seniors with a win
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Chucks will honor the senior members of their squad in a ceremony tonight at Jack LaMarca Stadium, but Punxsy hopes to honor them in another manner, as well: With a victory.
"These seniors have been a great part of this program," Punxsy head coach Alan Nichol said. "They came in as sophomores on a very good team, and they all had a lot on their plates. A lot of them really paid their dues, and then last year, they had a lot to do with a lot of wins in Punxsy. This year, with a small squad, every game has placed a burden upon the seniors, and they've just been the kind of young men that have taken on extra duties to carry that burden. So, it's going to be a big night for us."
Despite the Chucks' 2-5 record, they've played some close games that could have gone either way, and Nichol is proud of the way his seniors have bounced back from some tough losses.
"What I like most about them is that they come back with a lot of spirit in practice," he said. "I like that they're enjoying the game of football. Despite the ups and downs, we've kept our focus, and I just can't say enough about them."
Nichol said his squad has been preparing for tonight's game just as it would any other, even though they know there'll be an emotional element attached to the game.
"At this point, I think we've been working so hard as a group to have a good performance tonight; That's where our focus has been," he said.
As the Chucks are coming off a tough loss to undefeated Moniteau, Nichol likes what he's seen in practice this week.
"It's been going good," he said. "We have some younger guys that are going to have to play, and we're feeling good about that. It's just been a good, high-spirited week of practice, and the seniors have done a good job bouncing back after a game that we felt we didn't play our best."
At this point in the season, there's not much the Chucks have to do differently to prepare for other teams. But each squad requires a unique game plan, and the Bulldogs are no different.
"They're pretty much on the wide-open side, with a spread formation — one back and no tight end," Nichol said. "They have lots of speed, and they're a team that has shown a lot of big-play potential. That's something we'll have to do: Stop the big play."
Nichol highlighted sophomore running back Mark Strothers and senior receivers Caleb Smith and Keaton Delp as a triple-threat attack that brought the most speed to the table.
But Redbank Valley's game plan isn't just to spread out the defense and run the ball. The Bulldogs' quarterback, Jake Dougherty, has also thrown for 740 yards this season, putting him on pace for 1,000.
"He can throw the ball," Nichol said. "For the most part, teams that are well balanced are harder to pre-pare for. Seven-hundred-and-forty yards passing makes you have to be able to stop both run and pass."
On defense, Nichol said the Bulldogs are a "very basic team," but he added that to be successful in a basic system, as they are, they have to utilize some good, physical players.
"Keaton Delp is a good safety, and he makes a lot of plays all over the field," Nichol said. "He's a real good tackler, and he does a nice job of getting everyone lined up. With their basic setup, they're fundamentally solid, and that makes them a tough team to prepare for."
How does Punxsy plan to counter the physical defense Redbank will throw at it? The same way they've handled the other tough defensive squads they've faced: A balanced attack.
"At this point of the season, a lot of it deals with us executing on offense," Nichol said. "When things don't go our way, it's tempting to put too much in, and that's not what we're looking for. We're looking to execute with what we're working on. We always try to take advantage of what the other team gives us, but I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. It's just a matter of us getting back to executing like we did against Karns City (Sept. 30) and against Clarion (Oct. 7).
Late in the season, Nichol is working to instill lessons in his players that will help them on and off the football field.
"As a team, we've got to stick together and know there'll be ups and downs," he said. "It'll be another hard fought battle (tonight) like we've been involved in the past few weeks. And if something goes wrong, we'll just move on. We've talked about that, and every team has to do it at some point."
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and the Senior Night ceremony for the football team and cheerleaders will be prior to the game, and the band will recognize its seniors at halftime.

Workstation from Pax wardrobe
Materials: Pax wardrobe, Valter brackets
Description: This is my closet office that is composed almost entirely from Ikea components (to include the JULES swivel chair not pictured).
Basically I took an old PAX wardrobe and cut it to fit the ends of my closet. Then I took an old tabletop (I can't remember the name but it was made of birch plywood laminate), stained it, cut it to fit as the desktop, and braced it in place. The shelves above the desk are made from the PAX doors. The shelving below the desk has VALTER brackets.
I spend a great deal of time working from here and it serves me very well!

What a Barn burner, both teams played hard but the 12th man made the difference IMO. here are just a few notes from the Pats fan side of things:
1. The intentinal grounding at the end of the half ended up being a HUGE difference.
2. ARRINGTON -- we will trade him to ya for say a small coffee?? Interested lol
3. Safety Play -- Chung killed us in coverage 9and got benched for it.) Felt Wilson did Ok but god how did he get caught on the final TD he was in a DEEP COVER 2.. sigh.. rookies.
4. Nose disrupted the Pats just enough keep the score down IMO.. (kept audibles from being called etc.)
5. RUN-RUN-PASS -- what the Pats did with a 6 point lead and 3 minutes to go... I think McDaniels thought he had TEBOW again and not Brady.. I hate playing not to lose instead of playing to win.
6. Wilson -- I knew he have to play big for your Hawks beat the pats and he did.. great game by the rookie.
7. Speaking of rookies I am sure Hawk fans now realize why Pats fans are so giddy about Chandler Jones.. (6 sacks ion 6 games as a rookie.. )
8. Fun game to watch and I personally wish you guys luck moving forward, oh none of these were excuses why we loss, just observations from my side of the bench is all.

Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
A humdrum straight line of a film, Monsters University never surprises, goes off in unexpected directions or throws you for a loop in the manner of the best Pixar stories. Nor does it come close to elating through the sheer imagination of its conceits and storytelling.
Read Full Review
Monsters University feels not like the work of artists eager to express something but like that of likable pros whose existence depends on getting a rise out the kids. It's like the scares Sully and Mike spring on those sleeping tykes: technically impressive but a job un-anchored to anything more meaningful.
As a piece of summer entertainment, this strenuously upbeat prequel to Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." passes with vibrant colors and will, of course, excel at the box office...But as an offering from Pixar, the studio that set the platinum standard for contemporary animated features, it's an awful disappointment — and one more reason to worry about Pixar's future under Disney ownership.
Though colorful and sweet-natured and occasionally capable of producing the mild chuckle, this is a safe, predictable, edge-free, nearly bland effort from a studio that rarely hedges its bets.
The visuals are impressive, while the goodhearted and endearing story is a little slight.
A charming, family friendly endeavor and, although it falls short of the best Pixar has brought to the screen over its long association with Disney, it's nevertheless worth a trip to the theater, especially for kids.
Even when the story mechanics feel more than a bit secondhand, the exquisite interplay of vibrant pastel hues and almost photorealist textures (smoothly but not crucially enhanced in 3D) makes the film a continual pleasure to behold.
Speaking of second chances, Monsters University is exactly the rebound Pixar needed after 2011's "Cars 2" left some wondering if the studio had lost its magic.

Fitzgerald Toussaint scored a go-ahead, 2-yard touchdown with 2:49 left and No. 11 Michigan made a desperately needed stop on the final play to hold on for a 28-24 victory over Akron on Saturday.
Wolverines almost upset by Akron
Fitzgerald Toussaint scored a go-ahead, 2-yard touchdown with 2:49 left and No. 11 Michigan made a desperately needed stop on the final play to hold on for a 28-24 victory over Akron on Saturday.
College football's winningest program avoided getting upset at home — as it did against Appalachian State and Toledo — by a Mid-American Conference team that hasn't won a road game in nearly five years and was expected to lose by more than five touchdowns.
The Wolverines (3-0) trailed twice in the second half — including with 4:10 left when Kyle Pohl threw a 1-yard TD — and allowed the Zips (1-2) to get to the Michigan 4 on the final drive of the game.
Pohl was pressured and hit by Brennen Beyer on the final play, leading to an incomplete pass in the end zone as time expired on fourth down.
Akron was very close to going ahead in the final minute, but wide receiver Jerrod Dillard couldn't come down with a high pass that went through his hands in the end zone, and receiver L.T. Smith was stopped at the 2 by two defenders.
Michigan won its 17th straight at home for the longest streak among BCS-conference teams and its best since winning the same number in a row from 1976-78.
Akron has lost 28 straight road games, the longest skid for visitors in the top tier of college football since Kansas State dropped 30 in a row from Nov. 9, 1985 to Nov. 2, 1991, according to STATS LLC.
The Wolverines said the right things about respecting and focusing on Akron after beating rival Notre Dame in front of an NCAA-record crowd last weekend, but they didn't look like they prepared very well and failed to make adjustments during the game.
And, Devin Gardner led the way.
Gardner had turnovers on three straight drives late in the first half and the last two set up Akron for field-goal attempts — both of which were missed — as Michigan had a tenuous 7-3 lead at halftime.
The quarterback, who accounted for five TDs in the 41-30 win over the Fighting Irish, threw a career-high third interception in the fourth quarter that was returned 27 yards by linebacker Justin March to let the Zips pull within four points.
After Michigan picked up only one first down on the next two drives, Pohl gave Akron a 24-21 lead on a pass to Tyrell Goodman.
The Big House, which was eerily quiet for much of the afternoon when fans weren't booing, erupted in a collective cheer when Toussaint's plunge put Michigan up 28-24.
It got quiet again as Akron picked apart Michigan's defence, which failed to pressure Pohl very often, before the maize-and-blue clad followers were able to exhale when the clocks had zeroes and the football was on the turf.

DRED nominee faces opposition for Northern Pass stanceBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 19. 2013 10:31PM
CONCORD - Gov. Maggie Hassan's nominee to head the Department of Resources and Economic Development will come under fire for his position on the Northern Pass hydroelectric project when his nomination comes before the Executive Council at a public hearing Thursday.
The nomination of Jeffrey Rose, director of public affairs at BAE Electronic Systems in Nashua, to become commissioner of DRED is being opposed by Responsible Energy Action, a citizen group opposed to the Northern Pass.
In testimony filed with the council, the group claims that Rose has "consistently and publicly stated his strong, unequivocal support for the Northern Pass."
"Northern Pass will come before DRED for critical 'make or break' approvals," according to the written testimony. "We believe Mr. Rose's bias and pre-judgment in favor of Northern Pass clearly put him in a conflicted position and render him unsuitable to serve as DRED commissioner."
Rose responded by expressing his appreciation for the scenic beauty of the North Country and pledging neutrality.
"One of the most important roles of the DRED commissioner is protecting New Hampshire's beautiful natural resources. As an avid outdoorsman myself, I have spent much time exploring the mountains and terrain of the North Country," he said. "If I'm afforded the opportunity to serve as DRED commissioner, one of my primary responsibilities would be to impartially evaluate any project to ensure we protect the natural resources that drive our economy, including our scenic landscape. I would bring no-preconceived notions on the project to my role as DRED commissioner."
The central issue for Rose's opponents appears to be his role on the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce, which has come out in favor of the project. Rose is currently listed as a board member on the chamber website.
Nashua Chamber President and CEO Chris Williams explained that the information is out of date and inaccurate. The chamber is redesigning its website, he said, and "some of our pages from the past have been activated as current."
He said Rose's position on the board ended in March 2010, while the chamber's statement in support of Northern Pass was issued in December 2012.
"Jeff's term as a member of our board of directors had already expired long before our chamber took up discussions relative to support of the Northern Pass project," Williams said. "Those who wish to connect the Nashua Chamber's position on the Northern Pass project to Jeff Rose are simply barking up the wrong tree and are in the wrong forest altogether."
In their testimony, the Northern Pass opponents acknowledge that Rose may not be officially on the board, but say he is still associated with its position.
"Only a few weeks ago, Rose promoted the high transmission line power initiative during a Nashua chamber breakfast for legislators," they wrote. "Mr. Rose cannot undo the reality or the public perception of his prior unambiguous support for Northern Pass."
The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, one of the most active groups in opposition to the Northern Pass, will take no position on Rose's nomination, according to Jack Savage, society spokesman.
"We do not ordinarily engage in advocating for or against gubernatorial nominations," he said. "Rather, we try to clearly identify the larger issues of performance associated with a position in state government that deals with natural resources. DRED is responsible for 200,000 acres of public lands, and a number of large conservation easements on privately owned land.
"We believe that a nominee to the position of DRED commissioner should have a demonstrated command of and commitment to the stewardship of these vital assets. SPNHF believes that the Executive Council should only vote to approve a nominee to this position who demonstrates such a command and commitment."

Google's acquisition of YouTube may prove to be one of the savviest in internet history. Although some believed it appeared rich at the time, ask any of the companies that could have purchased Facebook for $1bn-plus less than a decade ago, and they'd probably tell you that sometimes, eleven figures is cheap.
But a big part of the reason YouTube has been so successful following its acquisition by Google is that the search giant continues to invest heavily in its development. The company is working with Hollywood to produce original content, and has made great strides over the years in inking licensing pacts with content creators.
While YouTube may not be moving the needle in terms of Google's bottom line, Google doesn't need it to, so monetization is secondary. But as Google looks to grow its base of professionally-produced content, it's reportedly looking at a business model many popular online media properties and social networks have thus far shunned: paid subscriptions.
Google's YouTube chief, Salar Kamangar, revealed that the company is considering its options at the Reuters Media and Technology Summit this week. "We don't have anything to announce now [but] it is something that's really important to a lot of our top existing content creators as well as ones that aren't on YouTube today, so we're taking very seriously and we're thinking about it very carefully," he explained.
It's not the first time Kamangar has hinted at subscriptions, but now the content creators he's referring to apparently include smaller cable operators looking to break away from the tyranny of the bundle and sell access to their content in a direct-to-consumer fashion. While cable giants like HBO are adament that they're not interested in making their programming available to consumers a la carte, some smaller players which don't have it nearly as good as the HBOs of the world might be willing to risk a move away from cable.
The big question, of course, is whether YouTube can bring home the bacon. While it's not clear, for instance, how successful or unsuccessful YouTube's movie rental service has been, it doesn't seem to have had an impact on Netflix or Hulu. As a post on DailyFinance last year pointed out, YouTube has an incredible audience, but may not have the economics on its side to compete with Netflix.
That suggests that if YouTube is to go head-to-head with cable, it will have to bring more than just its popularity. It will have to bring a compelling subscription business model with economics that work for everyone involved, consumers included.

Youtube not affecting google's bottom line? I was under the impression that google earned a tremendous amount of advertising revenue through youtube.
Went and did some reading - most believe that Youtube has lost money at varying ammounts over the past few years, (http://www.ramprate.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/RRMarketCommentary-GoogleandYouTube.pdf is a good report.) Many believe that youtube will be profitable in 2012 and moving forward.
I would think YouTube would have a good opportunity to launch subscriptions in the UK given how poor the selection is on Netflix and Love Film and Sky Movies.
This is really a very taunting question. With the big search engine giant taking up services in its stride, it is no doubt that taking up youtube it will not show improvement as it really thrives to move ahead leaving behind Yahoo and Bing and on the contrary Youtube has also gained much success with Google.
Hi Patricio, thanks for the update on the YouTube/Paid Subscriptions story. It's interesting because this has been in the pipeline for sometime, they just need to get some content producers on board - quality ones of course, otherwise their efforts will all be in vain.
I can only see this working if the quality of the programming justified a paid subscription. Otherwise, I don't see what's so wrong with traditional advertising, just like 4OD have on their platform. In any case, I am keen to see what happens. Thanks for the update.

Until the recent deadly West Virginia coal mine disaster became front-page news, Massey Energy wasn't a company that most Americans outside of the Appalachian mining region had heard of. That it is now front and center, due to this catastrophe and an endless stream of accompanying media reports about their appalling record on everything from worker safety to age discrimination lawsuits as well as groundwater and air pollution, comes as no shock to documentarian Mike O'Connell.
O'Connell's 2008 doc, "Mountaintop Removal," chronicled the controversial practice of the title, which is a form of coal mining that does exactly what it says. In O'Connell's doc, the injury to the rural environment was compounded by the fact that the Massey subsidiary's mining operation operated 400 yards above the local Marsh Fork Elementary School and housed a toxic by-product pond and dam containing more than 2 million gallons of hazardous waste.
"(Massey CEO) Don Blankenship is a throwback to the old coal barons," O'Connell says. "He started following me
on Twitter, so we could kind of communicate. His statements are so provocative and bizarre.
That's one reason why Massey is not liked by the other coal companies in Appalachia," continues O'Connell. "They're the bad boy on the block. Up to this time he seemed to relish that role. But as so often happens to guys like Blankenship, they wind up hanging themselves. This mining disaster, it turns out, is about three miles from the dam and the school that are both featured in my film."
Mountaintop Removal" received a flurry of attention after winning the Reel Current Award at the 2008 Nashville Film Festival, an honor that was bestowed and presented at the event by former Vice President Al Gore. The current controversy has ignited new interest in the film's DVD, which is being sold on the website hawriverfilms.com, and is being programmed by PBS stations across the country.
While O'Connell is grieving for the 29 lost miners and remains outraged by the conduct of the mining firm at the center of his film, he's encouraged not only by seeing Massey Energy getting the grilling they've long deserved, but also sees signs of progress on the environmental front. "EPA commissioner Lisa Jackson came out two weeks ago and announced enforcement of new, stricter groundwater rules," reports O'Connell hopefully.
Also, nearly four years after he first trained his camcorder sights on the Marsh Fork school situation, progress may be afoot. On April 26, there will be a press conference in the office of West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin that, O'Connell believes, will announce state funding for the relocation of the elementary school — a victory signaling that 10 years of protests have paid off.

Academic Year 2018 – 2019
Health Insurance Requirements for All Students
The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System mandates health insurance for all students enrolled in the UT System health components. As such, each UTHealth student who cannot provide evidence of continuing coverage under another approved plan will be enrolled in the student insurance plan with Academic HealthPlans and assessed a health insurance fee. The health insurance fee is $2,504.00 for the academic year 2018-2019 (click on Student Insurance Rates for more information.)
Before registering for classes each term, every student must complete the health insurance certification process through his/her myUTH account. Through this process, students either provide information about their own coverage or confirm their participation in Academic HealthPlans. For students who attest to coverage under another approved plan, the health insurance fee will not be assessed to their student account.
Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Insurance for International Students
The Board of Regents of The University of Texas System also requires that all international students holding non-immigrant visas and living in the United States carry coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation while enrolled at any component of The University of Texas.
The health insurance fee assessed for health coverage with Academic HealthPlans includes coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation. Therefore, international students enrolled in Academic HealthPlans do not need to obtain additional coverage.
However, international students with outside medical insurance coverage must ensure that their coverage includes medical evacuation and repatriation. (Please note that the majority of outside insurance carriers do not provide medical evacuation and repatriation coverage.) If needed, international students can purchase supplemental coverage specifically for medical evaluation and repatriation through their student account at a cost of $96 per year.
Optional Family Coverage
Though not required by UT, health insurance is also available to purchase for students' spouses and/or children. Contact Auxiliary Enterprises at email@example.com or 713-500-8400 to obtain an application for family coverage. Family coverage must match the coverage dates of the student.
Optional Dental Coverage
Dental Insurance is optional but available to all students and their spouses and children. Please refer to the Academic HealthPlans website for information or you can contact Auxiliary Enterprises at 713-500-8400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Continuation of Coverage
All Insureds who have been continuously insured under the school's regular Policy for at least six consecutive months and who no longer meet the eligibility requirements under the Policy are eligible to continue their existing coverage for a period of not more than six months under the school's Policy in effect at the time of such continuation.
If an Insured is still eligible for continuation at the beginning of the next Policy year, the Insured must purchase coverage under the new Policy as chosen by the school. Coverage under the new Policy is subject to the rates and benefits selected by the school for that Policy year.
Premium rates for continuation of coverage are higher than rates for students at The University of Texas System. Enrollment must be made and applicable premium must be paid directly to Academic HealthPlans and be received within 30 days after the expiration date of your student coverage. For more information on the Continuation of Coverage, please contact Academic HealthPlans at (855) 247-7587 or you can contact Auxiliary Enterprises at 713-500-8400 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hall's 35 points carry Drury by reigning champ Western Wash. for berth to final
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Alex Hall scored a season-high 35 points, making seven 3-pointers to help Drury topple defending champion Western Washington 107-97 on Saturday in the NCAA Division II semifinal.
Hall shook off foul trouble to finish 10 of 15 from the field, set the pace for Drury's 34 of 59 shooting (57.6 percent) and extended a school-record winning streak to 22. He came up a point shy of his career high but was two better than Thursday's quarterfinal effort against South Carolina Aiken.
''We came in super focused,'' Hall said, who hit his first four from long range. ''I hit a few in a row and my team found me for some open looks.''
Drury's offense was crucial in surviving Western Washington's rally from 24 down in the second half to get to 85-79 with 4:48 left.
Hall sandwiched two foul shots around three baskets by Cameron Adams to make it 93-81. Brandon Lockhart (24 points) and Ian Carter (19) both added two free throws to stretch it to 97-81 with just more than 2 minutes left and seal the win.
Teddy Simniok added 12 points for Drury (30-4), which faces Metro State in the championship on April 7 in Atlanta. Metro State beat top-ranked West Liberty 83-76 in the other semifinal.
''This is a dream come true, something we've been fighting for since Oct. 15,'' Simniok said of reaching the championship game.
Hall quickly got the Panthers going toward their goal, hitting his first four 3-pointers and 5 of 7 in a 23-point first half that gave Drury a 50-32 lead at intermission.
The Panthers appeared to need that cushion with Hall's three fouls putting him on the bench for several minutes in the second half. But Drury couldn't miss and managed to stretch the lead past 20 before he returned several minutes later and dropped in a couple more from long range even after picking up his fourth foul.
''That was huge, being able to score and get the ball in places,'' Drury coach Steve Hesser said. ''That's a confidence boost. Obviously, before that Alex was a huge part of our offense, to say the least. But we got the ball inside and we did nice [job] with our cutting and ball movement.''
Drury avenged a 72-69 on Dec. 18 loss to Western Washington in the South Point Holiday Hoops Classic that also marked its first loss of the season. More importantly, the Panthers denied the Vikings' quest to become the first Division II team in 19 years to win consecutive championships.
How Drury did it bothered Western Washington coach Tony Dominquez the most. Well aware that Hall would be the main threat, he prepared his players to slow the guard down and limit his options.
''I thought we were prepared,'' Dominguez said. ''We switched on purpose to defend for Hall. The ease in his making shots was that we weren't there. He's an All-American, he knocked down shots and that was frustrating.''
Rico Wilkins' 27 points led the Vikings (31-3). Richard Woodworth added 19 and Paul Jones had 16.

PeopleSoft Services Procurement, part of the PeopleSoft Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) 9.2 suite of applications, was the subject of a positive article written by Jason Busch of the leading industry analyst firm Spend Matters.
The article highlighted new functionality in PeopleSoft Services Procurement, as well as the value of exploiting the integration advantages of a unified solution across all aspects of the business. For example, enhanced 9.2 integrations enable PeopleSoft Resource Management and Services Procurement to streamline the shifting of a search from internal to external resources, enabling organizations to accelerate the deployment of the best mix of resources (internal and subcontractor) on a project.
In addition, new inbound timesheet integration from external suppliers (via web services) eliminates the need for time sheet entry in two separate systems (customer and service provider). This can reduce the time to approve and settle.
By managing the entire outsourced services process from request through settlement, PeopleSoft Services Procurement enables organizations to lower service costs and collaborate with suppliers, thus helping to balance global workforce needs and contingent labor spend.

Elgin police dog is its first to die on duty
One of Elgin's three police dogs died of cancer last week, the first dog to die while still on duty in the city, his handler said.
Eight-year-old Keiser was diagnosed with cancer about two months ago, when his handler, officer John Slocum, first noticed the German shepherd had become lethargic.
Keiser had surgery and went back to duty, but he collapsed while on routine patrol July 5, Slocum said. He was euthanized at Dundee Animal Hospital in East Dundee.
"He was an extremely efficient, very high-drive, phenomenal police service dog, as well as a good friend and partner to me," Slocum said. "He was unbelievable. His drive was through the roof."
Keiser was a dual-purpose dog, meaning his duties included both patrol and narcotics detection.
"He lived to work. All he wanted to do is work," said Slocum, who was paired with Keiser in 2007.
A few years ago, Keiser and another police dog saved a suicidal man's life. Keiser followed the man's scent and found him clinging to a tree with a rope around his neck, Slocum said. Police were able to help the man and bring him down safely, he said.
Keiser's other notable achievements include recovering $62,000 in cash and finding a 6-pound package of marijuana vacuum-sealed and packed in drier sheets.
Police dogs live with their handlers and usually retire at about age 10, Slocum said. All previous Elgin police dogs reached retirement, including Slocum's two previous K-9 partners.
Keiser loved to play with hard rubber balls that he routinely chewed to pieces. He also loved milk bones, but work was his passion, Slocum said.
Losing Keiser was emotional for Slocum's family, he said. "He was the family dog."
Elgin police will determine whether to get another dog, Slocum said. The initial cost, including training, is about $15,000; the weekly maintenance training cost is minimal, he said.
Meanwhile, the department is planning to create a memorial in its lobby to honor all service dogs that have worked in Elgin.
"It's a lot of that we ask of them. It's a lot they give us," he said. "(Keiser) served the city well. He'll be missed."

When one thinks of the Renaissance, usually one pictures Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, or the Medicis. But if you travel westward from the Italian countryside, cross the vast western European taiga forests, and swim to the British Isles, one encounters the greatness of the English Renaissance. Here, it is not about the explosion of painting and sculpture, instead, the Elizabethan theater. And one immediately recalls the great wordsmith of 16th century England, William Shakespeare.
Renaissance history for the seventh graders of Davis Waldorf would not be complete without the performance of a Shakespearean play. However, perhaps in the spirit of creativity, and in a very conscious effort to give a balanced amount of lines for each of my students, I wrote a play, which incorporated passages from Shakespeare's plays, epic poems, and sonnets.
The play is titled Star Cross'd. It takes us on a journey from Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon to the Globe Theater in London. What had interested me as I imagined the plot of Star Cross'd was how Shakespeare got his start, and what inspired him. His life during the time of Queen Elizabeth I included many people that were as interesting as his fictional characters, so I decided to include some of them in our play. And though while historically they existed, I took creative license in their interactions with Shakepseare.
If love is at the heart of the writer's soul, then it was Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare's wife, who was his muse. When Shakespeare leaves Stratford, he arrives in London at the Master of Revels office where he meets the Burbages, financiers and actors in the Chamberlain's Men. The Master of the Revels is the Queen's censor, and with Shakespeare's wordsmithing prowess, the Burbages ask Shakespeare to join them as their playwright.
The play jumps a few years and Shakespeare is invited as the guest of honor of the Queen and her Royal Court. Here, he meets Sir Walter Raleigh and Bess Morton (Elizabeth Throgmorton). I discovered that Morton was secretly in love with Raleigh and the two eventually married each other. I decided to use their secret love affair as the vehicle that inspires Shakespeare to write his play Romeo and Juliet. So the second half of our play is a "play within a play," as the Chamberlain's Men perform Rome and Juliet (excerts from the play) for the Queen and the Royal Court to convince Bess Morton to follow her heart.
Here is an excerpt of our play, where Shakespeare is quietly talking to Bess Morton:
Oh, Mr. Shakespeare, I hope I did not offend thee
With an amateur's recitation of your epic poem.
No, not at all! I express the opposite, gentle lady.
Words are just words without heart. And your heart
Sings of one truly in love. And dare I presume, a love
You are keeping in shadow.
Sir, you are gifted in knowing the human soul.
It is no wonder the characters in your plays speak
With genuine emotion.
I am in love, but I must not act upon my heart's call.
As Lady to the Queen's Privy Chamber, I am
To serve only Her Majesty.
I am forbidden to fall in love.
Forbidden to fall in love?!
Can a rose be forbidden to bloom in beauty?
Can the wind be ordered to hold sway its might?
Can the sun be estopped from slicing the summer sky
With it glorious rays of light and heat!!
The Queen cannot ever know, else I draw her rage.
Or worse, I become a prisoner of the Tower.
Oh dear Lady Bess, I am reminded of what my
Wife Anne tells me:
Love looks upon tempests and is never shaken.
We were young, foolish perhaps, but impassioned
By the unwavering truth of love.
A Queen's temper cannot temper love.
You are asking me to disobey the wishes of my Queen.
I am asking you to obey the wishes of your heart.

2013′s going to be a busy year for game development studio CyberConnect2. Not only are they working on the finishing touches for Naruto Shippuuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (March 2013), they've also been concurrently working on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle (PS3), as well as GREE smartphone action game Night Runner (Working Title) and additional contents for its other smartphone title, Guilty Dragon.
And that's not all. The Fukuoka-based developer has apparently got pretty big plans for 2013.
In a New Year's message YouTube video that just went live today, CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama teased that the game developer plans to unveil three more unannounced titles later this year in 2013.
Matsuyama-san described these three new titles as "original new works" (オリジナル新作), which is Japanese-game-industry speak for "brand new IP".
Damn, was hoping for a .hack game lol.
Wonder what they in store for us.
I want another .hack game, and that would be bad ass if they made one for the PC as well, online would be golden, and if they had a mmo with the PS# and PC combined. * mind-blown*
Im guessing a new anime QTE/beatemup/hacknslash game. Asura´s Wrath 2 is not necessary from the way i see it.
Naruto Storm Impact 2 for the PS Vita and PSP.
And hopefully a new Hack game alongside with an HD colection of the older games.
3 new IP´s would nice as well CC2 makes good stuff.

Err, companies generally don't apply budget cuts in such arbitrary and haphazard fashions. Those that do tend not to survive very long. Also note that the contracting workforce doesn't have, and never has had, the same protections afforded government workers.
I've worked for plenty of companies that can and do *exactly* this. Cisco, for example has done the "cut the bottom 5% of employees". That seems like eliminating waste, but is actually a very haphazard and subjective methodology.
As for the bolded portion, of course they don't, which is exactly why you USE contractors in the first place.
Depending on who you read (and believe), sequestration will push the economy into a contraction, and possibly even a recession. So no, it's not necessarily "as good as time as any".
It may or may not, but that's why I used the bandaid metaphor. I'd rather see it happen now, at the cost of DOD/military, and the re-expanding into less wasteful pursuits...things like infrastructure, including smart grid development.

Leadership Niagara markets its program as "one year that will change your life."
Soon, that life-changing experience can come with college credit, too.
That's because Niagara's foremost leadership-training organization is partnering with Niagara University to offer all former, current and future Leadership Niagara participants an opportunity to earn three college credits based on their LN experience. To do so, LN graduates will develop a community-minded project around one of the topics that were discussed during the year.
"The course was established in recognition of the hard work and unique programming that Leadership Niagara has been providing over the past few years," said the Rev. Joseph L. Levesque, C.M., NU president. "Niagara University is committed to developing community leaders and this is yet another way for us to continue to fulfill our mission."
The community interrelationships course was designed to supplement Leadership Niagara's in-class experience and improve the social structures operating within the community. Students will be tasked with making sure that the project aligns with the missions of both institutions, assessing its impact on the community, creating strategic and marketing plans and determining its sustainability.
"It isn't enough for leaders to simply learn about the issues impacting our community. Leadership must be practiced and developed," said Molly Anderson, executive director of Leadership Niagara. "This course will help us to enhance the experience of these participants and provide them the tools to succeed. We are pleased to offer a program that will benefit every prior LN graduate and take Leadership Niagara into the future. It is truly an honor to partner with Niagara University, a premier academic institution, to further engage our graduates to lead change and really make a difference."
The class begins on Oct. 18 and finishes Dec. 6. There is still time to register. To do so, or for more information, call NU's Institute of Applied Learning at 286-8309.
Leadership Niagara's mission is to strengthen regional leadership.

Government approves 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17)
New Delhi: The government on Thursday approved the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) document that seeks to achieve annual average economic growth rate of 8.2 per cent, down from from 9 per cent envisaged earlier, in view of fragile global recovery.
"The Union Cabinet also discussed the draft 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) and approved the draft and directed the that the draft be placed before the National Development Council (NDC)," Finance Minister P Chidambaram told reporters here.
"It is an ambitious Plan. It estimates resources at an ambitious level and hope to expand the interventions in critical areas like health, education, drinking water, sanitation," he said.
He further said, "The projected average rate gross capital formation in the 12th Plan is 37 per cent of GDP. The projected gross domestic savings rate is 34.2 per cent of GDP and the net external financing needed for macro economic balance has been placed at 2.9 per cent of GDP."
"Plan emphasises the need for speeding up the implementation of infrastructure projects".
The 12th Plan document has already been approved by the full Planning Commission chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on September 15.
Now, the document will be placed before the National Development Council (NDC), the apex decision making body, for final approval.
The NDC headed by the Prime Minister with all Chief Ministers and Cabinet Ministers on board, is the final authority to approve the five-year long policy document.
In view of the ongoing global problems, the average annual growth target for the 12th Plan has been scaled down at 8.2 per cent from 9 per cent envisaged in the Approach Paper to the 12th Plan.

Definition of Roles
There are currently 27 volunteer roles available within the Volunteer System as shown below. In some cases a particular role, such as Treasurer, should be self explanatory and therefore no definition is provided. Where appropriate, details on the functions of roles are provided.
Current Roles
Board Chair. The Chairman of the Board of Directors presides at key meetings of members of the Institute, the Council, and the Board of Directors. The chairman is responsible to appoint committees and boards as provided for in the Bylaws. The Chairman also acts as a spokesperson for the Institute and appears on its behalf before other organizations. The Vice Chair of the Board is normally appointed to be Chair of the Board during the annual meeting of the Nominations Committee (usually held in February).
Board Liaison. Acts as the ears of the Board of Directors to certain volunteer groups.
Note: Except as otherwise provided by Council, and except for committees of the Board of Directors, such as the Committee on Audit, no public member on a senior or permanent committee or board may serve as its chair. An effective volunteer group needs a chair that will accept responsibility, foster creativity, and keep the group focused. The smooth management and creative achievements of any volunteer group often reflect the chair's ability and efforts.
Chair of a Volunteer Group. The Chair of a Volunteer Group is responsible for presiding over the meetings of the group and to provide direction over the activities of the group. With the exception of task forces, the Chair is also responsible during the Volunteer Group Year to recommend individuals for succeeding years, evaluate members of the group, and communicate any changes in the objectives or membership of the Group to the Volunteer Services Team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Designated Representative. Each state society designates a single member to represent it on the Council for a term of one year. A Designate Representative can be reappointed each year for a combined term of service not to exceed six consecutive years.
Elected Members. Elected Members are members of Council who are directly elected by the membership in their respective states. The number of Elected Members is allocated in two ways, somewhat analogous to the allocation of senators and congressmen for each state, whereby the first is a fixed amount and the second is based on population. First, each state by default is allowed to recommend one Elected Member of Council. Second, each state is allowed to recommend additional Elected Members, the number being based on the proportion of Institute members enrolled from each state. This second category of Elected Members based on proportion of AICPA members is set at 85 members; however, the allocation of the seats is re-evaluated and adjusted, if necessary, every five years.
Ex-Officio. Past Chairs of the Board of Directors and Past Presidents of the AICPA.
Members-At-Large. Seven Institute members, without regard to the states in which they reside, are elected annually by the Council as Members-At-Large to serve on Council.
Member–of a volunteer group. The term "member" is often used in a general sense to reflect any participant of on a volunteer group.
President. The president of the AICPA has the responsibility for the execution of the policies and programs of the Institute, to act as a spokesperson for the Institute, and perform such other services as may be assigned to the President by the Council and the Board of Directors.
Public Members. Public Members are non-CPA volunteers who sit on the Board of Directors. The Bylaws require three public members.
Secretary of Institute. The secretary of the Institute has the usual duties of a corporate secretary and performs such other related duties as may be assigned to the secretary by the president
Staff Liaison. The staff liaison should assist the volunteer group at each meeting to the fullest extent possible by researching and providing background information. This includes providing appropriate reference materials for each meeting; identifying the elements of a problem; listing the questions that need answering; participating in the discussion; endeavoring tactfully to persuade members to adopt a sound decision; alerting the volunteer group when it is deviating from AICPA policy or exceeding its authority; and accepting whatever final decision is reached, unless the issue is so important that a higher authority should be consulted. The staff liaison is responsible for preparing the agenda, drafting the minutes or highlights (including attendance), as appropriate, of each meeting (with review and approval by the volunteer group chair), coordinating volunteer group activities and sharing information with other AICPA volunteer groups and staff, as appropriate. The staff liaison may also be called on to help the volunteer group identify goals, focus on major issues, create new programs, draft reports, and organize and implement activities approved by the volunteer group. The staff liaison should play an active role and can lead the volunteer group in the form of guidance and assistance toward a desired end.
Vice Chairman of the Board. The Vice Chairman of the Board shall be chairman- nominee of the Board of Directors and presides in the absence of the chairman at meetings of the Institute, the Council, and the Board of Directors. The Vice Chairman is currently assigned the responsibility to recommend appointments to all volunteer groups. These recommended appointments are subject to ratification during the annual Fall Council meeting. The Vice Chair is selected during the annual meeting of the Nominations Committee, usually held in February each year. Although there are no specific requirements to become the Vice Chair, normally this individual will have been a member of the Board of Directors.
Virtual Member. An individual who is a member of a Virtual Group and supports the AICPA in an entirely virtual internet based capacity. One type of virtual member participation has entailed online support to one or more specific committees. A second form of virtual participation involves online participation in various online surveys, which provide targeted feedback in specialized areas.

Historian of Science Dr John van Wyhe (National University of Singapore), officially launched his Wallace Online website today. Wallace Online is the first complete edition of Wallace's published writings (22 books and over 900 articles). It also contains records of manuscript items extracted from a number of electronic catalogues - such as the NHM's Archives Catalogue - which means that these can be conveniently searched using a single interface. Although transcripts of most of Wallace's publications have been available for many years on Charles Smith's Wallace Page website, Wallace Online also includes scans of the actual documents, which - in the same way as Darwin Online - can be viewed either by themselves or side-by-side with the relevant transcript. Wallace Online's major novelty is, however, that it includes the publications in which the huge number of new species of insects, birds etc which Wallace collected on his epic expedition to South-East Asia were described (given scientific names) by other naturalists.
Next month will see the 'soft launch' of the Wallace Correspondence Project's database of Wallace's letters, The Correspondence of Alfred Russel Wallace Online. This, together with Wallace Online, will provide an amazingly complete Wallace resource which will be invaluable for exploring and studying his extraordinary life and work.
For a nice article about the launch of Wallace Online see Ian Sample's article in the Guardian newspaper.

The cure for blood cancer is in the hands of ordinary people.
Every day about 300 Be The Match Registry ® members are sent emails and letters letting them know they have appeared on a preliminary list of potential matches for a patient. If you receive one of these emails or letters, there's just one thing for you to do — contact us right away.
Here's why: The patient and their doctor are trying to determine treatment options as quickly as possible. By contacting potential donors early in the search process, Be The Match ® provides the patient's doctors with a more realistic list of possible matches who have indicated their willingness to move forward.
In our continual work to improve the donor search process for patients and doctors, Be The Match started the Preliminary Search Donor Contact Program last August. The goal is to contact potential donors most likely to be a patient's match before the patient's doctor makes selections for further testing. When outreach is made, registry members whose health or commitment to donate have changed can be removed from the list, and those who are ready and available to go forward can confirm their commitment. This information will be available to patients' doctors as they select potential donors for further testing, helping to speed up the search process.before
Searching for a donor can be stressful and emotional for patients. This program is helping to make the process as easy and positive as possible for the patient in need.
Registry members who appear on a patient's preliminary search list are strategically selected for contact.
We hear back from many of the potential donors promptly and do additional outreach to try to reach those who don't respond. Results from the program have shown that early contact with potential donors is helping patients find the match they need more quickly.
When you respond to an email or letter telling you that you've appeared on a patient's preliminary search list, we'll help you understand the donation process. If you confirm your willingness to move forward, we'll ask you some questions to rule out health concerns that might prevent you from donating.
Because the search process is in the early stages, the patient's doctor may or may not request you for additional testing. About one in five donors contacted will be asked to proceed to the next stage.
If you receive a letter or email saying you are part of a patient's search results, please contact us right away. It's usually just a 10-minute call, and we're here evenings and weekends. Quickly letting us know you're ready and willing (or not) to move forward is an important way you can help us better serve patients in need.
Thanks for your kind words, Tanya. Sorry to read about your rheumatoid arthritis but so happy to see that instead of letting it bog you down, you've chosen to share the small victories on your blog as you raise your 3 kids and inspire others to chin up as well. That's so motivating. Keep up the great work!
Kaila says
Fabulous ideas-and great links! I want to try some of those breakfast recipes.
Right? I've promised myself that I'll try making some of those healthy breakfast bars at home. I don't know though. When you try some of those recipes, let me know how it goes… maybe that will kick me into action
Just made mini veggie quiche- I mixed leftover fried veggies with eggs, flour, and salt, and baked them in little ready made pie shells. Yum!
Mmmmm… that does sound yummm (especially right now — it's lunch time here and I haven't yet figured out what to eat )
Korinthia Klein says
For us it was a matter of narrowing down just a couple of things that were slowing us down at the last moment. For instance, we have a rule about how you can't eat breakfast until you are wearing socks and shoes (because the search for socks and shoes when we should be heading out the door was ridiculous).
To avoid yelling, I sort of got into a routine that didn't involve having to directly interact with my kids (once they reached ages where they didn't need my help with getting themselves ready). So I get up first and start turning on lights and making noise without specifically telling anyone to get up. Then I go down and make breakfast (we usually do pancakes or French toast) and during that time they start stirring. I ring a bell to call them down to eat, and usually pass them on the stairs as they come down and I go up to get myself ready. They are in charge of their own bags and they buy lunch at school so I don't have to deal with any of that. (Somewhere in there are kisses and hugs.)
The Montessori quote is apt. As long as they have ample time to go at their own pace, kids are capable of doing a great deal for themselves.

By all accounts, Norman Borlaug was a hardworking and humble man. When the phone call came to tell him that he had won the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize, he was working in the wheat fields. His wife, Margaret, had to deliver the news to him. Borlaug is credited with saving a billion lives.
March 25 is the 100th anniversary of Borlaug's birthday. It is also National Ag Day.
"He had all these awards – the Congressional Gold Medal, the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of Science. Yet, in all my time visiting with him, he never mentioned one. Even up to his death he was still promoting agricultural science," says Ronald Phillips, Regents Professor at the University of Minnesota.
The Iowa-born man earned the nickname "Father of the Green Revolution." The term commonly refers to changes in agricultural practices that increased food production from the 1950s forward.
After earning his PhD, Borlaug began doing research and training new scientists in Mexico. One of the first problems Borlaug addressed in Mexico was stem rust, which was killing wheat crops. Despite the poor state of his workstation, he slept and worked there, depending on the support of the local farmers who would loan equipment and help as needed. Borlaug faced criticism for his work at times, but he forged ahead with his breeding plans.
To solve other problems with wheat, Borlaug and his associates developed Mexican semi-dwarf varieties, which had multiple benefits. The shorter wheat produced stronger stalks and two to three times more grain than standard varieties. These new varieties greatly changed the picture of wheat production in Mexico. By 1963, 95 percent of the wheat grown in the country came from Borlaug's breeding programs. The wheat harvest that year was six times larger than the harvest in 1944, when Borlaug arrived in Mexico.
Borlaug preached the parts that made the whole
Borlaug took his work to India and Pakistan, bringing new seeds to help feed the worlds' poor. Between 1965 and 1970, India's wheat crop went from 12 million to 21 million tons. Soon his ideas and principles were being replicated in China and Africa.
"The greatest thing he did for the field of agronomy was to begin to show people that they had to think about multiple parts of the system," says Jerry Hatfield, lab director at the USDA – Agricultural Research Service. "If you think about what he did in the Green Revolution, it wasn't about genetics, and it wasn't about fertility, and it wasn't about water. It was about all of those different things together."
Others credit Borlaug with an ability to get others to work together. He could speak to scientists, politicians, and farmers with the same ease.
So 100 years after he was born, and with the world population continuing to grow, Borlaug's legacy still resonates. He continues to call us all to action with words he spoke in 1970 at his Nobel Lecture: "I cannot emphasize too strongly the fact that further progress depends on intelligent, integrated, and persistent effort by government leaders, statesmen, tradesmen, scientists, educators, and communication agencies…we can and must make continuous progress."
Summarized from "Celebrating 100 Years of Dr. Norman Borlaug," published in the March-April issue of Crop Science Society of America News.

By James Mackenzie
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has dropped allies accused of corruption and mafia connections as election candidates, in a bid to shake off some of the scandal dogging his party.
Nicola Cosentino, a former junior economy minister whose power base is the heartland of the Camorra - the Naples mafia - was among a handful of members of parliament deselected from the party list for a general election on February 24-25.
"It was a very painful decision," Berlusconi told his own Italia 1 television station, blaming the need to drop Cosentino on "politically biased prosecutors".
Cosentino has denied any wrongdoing and party officials said he was dropped only to avoid the issue being exploited by electoral rivals.
The move is a political gamble that may win the People of Freedom (PDL) party some votes but also risks losing support among the local power base of deselected politicians.
"This choice does not imply a judgment that those involved are guilty," said Fabrizio Cicchitto, head of the PDL group in the lower house of parliament.
"I continue to believe that Nicola Cosentino is innocent and has been the target of an extremely harsh campaign by media and judges," he said.
Cosentino, who was forced to resign from Berlusconi's last government in 2011 over an influence-peddling scandal, is under investigation for association with the Camorra in the Casal di Principe region near Naples.
Berlusconi, himself on trial charged with paying for sex with a minor as well as tax fraud, has been under pressure to clean up his party.
The Corriere della Sera daily said Berlusconi's office had seen projections that estimated the deselection of such candidates could add 2 percentage points to the PDL's vote to build on a strong recovery seen since the start of the year.
A poll last week by the SWG institute showed Berlusconi's alliance between the PDL and the Northern League party, on 27.2 percent, was still lagging the centre-left bloc fronted by Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani, on 33 percent.
Both the Democratic Party and outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti's centrist bloc have pledged to present only candidates not under investigation or facing criminal charges.
Berlusconi has long defended Cosentino and others now excluded from the PDL's electoral list, but growing public anger with corrupt politicians has forced him to act.
However the move risks causing rifts in the party, where Cosentino and some of the others command strong local loyalty.
Cosentino, who faces the threat of immediate arrest without his parliamentary immunity, said he felt "deep friendship" for Berlusconi but he made it clear that he had not gone willingly.
"I did not step aside of my own accord, I did not renounce the candidacy on my own, I fought to the end," he told a news conference in Naples that was interrupted several times by cheers and applause from his supporters.
He blamed unnamed forces within the PDL for forcing him out and although he denied newspaper reports that he had come close to blows with Alfano, he had little but scorn for the party secretary, whom he labeled a "loser".
At least seven other former ministers or prominent allies, including four politicians also from the Naples region, have withdrawn or been dropped from the list presented by the PDL on Monday evening.
Also not returning to parliament is Marcello Dell'Utri, a senator from Sicily and one of Berlusconi's oldest associates, who is appealing a conviction for mafia association and has other convictions for tax fraud.
Under Italian electoral law, voters cannot vote for individuals but must choose a list of candidates presented by a party or coalition.

Skip to comments.Stockton bankruptcy: 'All that's left is sadness' for city
Posted on 06/27/2012 11:28:01 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer
With the city of Stockton moving to become the nation's largest city to seek protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Tuesday night's City Council meeting was quiet, with an evident sadness on faces in the packed chambers.
The working-class port city -- from where many of California's agricultural exports set sail -- lived largely on credit during economic boom times. The city borrowed millions of dollars for ambitious, eye-catching projects in the mid-2000s. Up went a sports arena, hotel and promenade. The city booked a Neil Diamond concert as a kickoff to better times. Houses in sprawling tracts sold quickly and with high mortgages.
When the bust came, few places fell as hard as Stockton. It has the second-highest rate of foreclosures in the nation. Property tax money dried up.
In a desperate effort at solvency, the city made $90 million in drastic cuts over the last three years, including reducing the Police Department by 25%, the Fire Department by 30%, and cutting pay and benefits to all employees.
As of July 1, the city will still face a $26-million shortfall.
The city has stopped making bond payments, and City Manager Bob Deis said he expected to file bankruptcy papers immediately.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
Sorry, but nothing like reality to change minds.
They got what they voted for.
Lower taxes, increase tax incentives for businesses, do away with unions and cut benefits to illegals and see what happens, Stockton.
Vote in more Democrats. See how well it works?
No sympathy here. "California, Rest In Peace" as the song says.
Stockton bankruptcy: 'All that's left is sadness' for city...
"Let us continue to seek an America that is just and fair," Mr. Mondale said. "Tonight especially I think of the poor, the unemployed, the elderly, the handicapped, the helpless and the sad, and they need us tonight."
Voting Percentages for San Joaquin County in 2008 Presidential Election:
Yup, the fact that you get what you vote for is right on the mark. Hardly even close in stuck-on-stupid Stockton. Mass delusion reigns supreme non-stop in California.
Thats not true..all the city has now is 10s of thousands of poor illegal aliens and their families.
Query: Did "Diversity" assist in the bankruptcy option?
But I'm sure the city is still making those outrageous payments to CALPERS so that its retired firemen, policemen, and other retirees can continue to live high off the hog in the meantime.
CALPERS payments go toward future benefits, not current retirees.
It is a preview what is about to happen to all of California.You can not continue to spend and spend after you have a shrinking income because there is not enough money to pay Democrats' folly.
It is a preview what is about to happen to all of California.You can not continue to spend and spend after you have a shrinking income because there is not enough money to pay Democrats' folly.
Which is not to say that the city has stopped paying outrageous pension benefits.
These people won't get it.
All 0bama's "stimulus" did was delay the pain. Cities and States took his bribe money, continued their reckless spending, and are now paying the price. Unfortunately, Stockton is the tip of the iceburg.
I thought we had market cornered on idiot Mondales here in MN.
